Objective To investigate the effect of hyperuricemia(HUA) on inflammation and endothelin-1 (ET-1) production and treatment of Benzbnomanone in hypertensive patients.Methods 90 initial hypertensive patients were enrolled from the inpatient division and clinic of our hospital,60 patients of them were identified HUA,and 30 patients were normal in uric acid as control.All these hypertensive patients with HUA were treated with basic anti-hypertensive drugs,of them 30 patients were additionally treated with Benzbromarone table 50mg for 8 weeks.The levels of inflammation indices and ET-1 were compared between these hypertensive patients with HUA and hypertensive patients with normal serum uric acid,also hypertensive patients with HUA treated with or without Benzbromarone for 8 weeks.Results Compared with the hypertensive patients with normal serum uric acid,levels of ET-1,interleukin-1 (IL-1) and high-sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP) were higher in the hypertensive patients with HUA.Also,the levels of these indices were positively correlated with the level of serum uric acid [(86.6 ± 4.8) pg/ml vs (82.4 ±6.9)pg/ml; (47.6 ±6.2)mg/L vs (19.1 ±4.1) mg/L; (3.4 ±0.8)mg/L vs (2.9 ± 1.1)mg/L,r =0.81,0.74,0.83,all P ＜ 0.05].Benzbromarone could effectively decrease the levels of ET-1,IL-1and hsCRP in the hypertensive patients with HUA [(49.8 ± 5.0) pg/ml vs (87.5 ± 5.9) pg/ml ; (17.6 ±8.8) mg/L vs (48.2 ± 7.0) mg/L; (1.7 ± 0.7) mg/L vs (3.5 ± 0.9) mg/L,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions HUA could increase the levels of inflammation and ET-1,while Benzbromarone effectivelv decreased these changes.Decreasing the level of serum uric acid would retard the process of atherosclerosis in the hypertensive patients with HUA.

When adult developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) patients have developed secondary os- teoarthritis of hip (OAH) with serious clinical symptoms,total hip replacement (THR) is their first choice of treatment.The anatomic structures of the acetabulum and femur in these patients are ahnormal and special,such as small and shallow cup,small femoral head,and narrow medullary cavity at proximal femoral shaft.As a result,the THR for DDH patients is quite different from the conventional ones and is thus highly difficult.We review in this paper the clinical classification of DDH,which is important for its treatment,the difficulties we will have in THR, especially in acetabular reconstruction and femoral prosthesis placement,and also strategies to resolve them.

Objective To study the experience of laparoscopic repair in gastric and duodenum perforation. Methods 35 patients with gastric and duodenum perforation were performed laparoscopic repair.Results 34 pati- ets with gastric and duodenum perforation were safely operated.1 case with perforation of gastric carcinoma was con- verted to open for radial gastrectomy.The mean time of hospitalization was 7.5 days.There was no intraoperative and postoperative complications.Pathological examination showed 4 patients with perforation of gastric ulcer and one with perforation of gastric carcinoma.Conclusion Laparoseopic repair was one of the safe,quick recovery and little suffering treatment for duodenum perforation.

Objective To evaluate the features of solid-pseudopapiHary tumors of pancreas (SPTP),and to compare with the clinical and pathological findings in order to improve the diagnostic accura-cy.Methods The CT appearances were analyzed retrospectively in 5 patients with pathologically proven SPTP.There were 4 women and 1 man,with the mean age of(16.20±7.49)years.Plain CT and contrasted CT were performed in all 5 cases.Results The tumors of 4 caseswerelocatedinthe head and neck of pan-creats and 1 case was in the body and tail of pancreas.Clear tumor margins were seen in all cases.The mean diameter of these tumors was 5.2 cm(3.0-9.0 cm).Two cases were predominantly composed of cystic por-tions,2 cases were mainly composed of solid portions,and 1 case was composed of similar proportions of solid and cystic portions.Inhomogeneous enhancement Was rewealed in contrasted CT scan,but Was lower in both phase than normal pancreas.Tumor border discontinuous ring-shape calcification was seen in 1 case,dilata-tion of the main pancreatic duct Was demonstrated in 1 case and no metastasis were seen.Conclusions Certain CT features may suggest the diagnosis of SPTP.CT combined with the clinical feature is helpful to the diagnosis.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics of neuromyelitis optica(NMO).Methods The clinical data of 18 patients with NMO were analyzed retrospectively.Results Of the enrolled patients,15 cases(83.3%) were relapsing form of NMO,16 cases(88.9%) were female and the mean onset age was 36 years old.Simultaneous bilateral optic neuritis(ON) or ON occured sequentially and horizontal impairent of spinal cord were the main clinic features in these 18 patients.Of the patients who received spinal cord MRI examinations,4 cases showed the lesions located in cervical cord,6 cases in thoracic cord and 5 cases in both cervical and thoracic cord.13 cases revealed lesions in spinal cord extended across 3 or more vertebral segments.Furthermore,brain lesions were detected by MRI in 6 patients.The mean onset number of per patient was five.Seven patients presented with mild disability,7 patients with median disability,2 patients with severe disability and death of 2 patients.Conclusions Most patients with NMO are female and relapsing form accounts for the majority type.The cardinal manifestations are bilateral ON and longitudinally extensive transverse myelitis(LETM).Some patients show brain lesions that may be detected by MRI examination.Relatively high relapsing frequency of clinical event and severe impairing are common in NMO.
